CARE & CLEANING

To clean the burner head ignition ports
Each burner head has a small ignition port (Fig. 1). Should
you experience ignition problems it may be that this port
hole is partially blocked with soil. With the burner head in
place, use a small wire gauge needle or the end of a paper
clip to clear the ignition port (center burner not shown).
To avoid possible burns DO NOT attempt any of the
cleaning instructions provided below before turning OFF
all of the surface burners and allow them to cool.

warmer drawer (on
some models).
Do not use oven bottom liners or use aluminum foil to
cover the oven bottom or any oven racks.

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in
the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with
materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks
air ow through the oven and may cause carbon
